yay got a second acct! dual boxing pairs questions

[Teracia]

Ok husband finally let me get the second acct :P yay for a zhevra mount for my main hehe..issue i have is i have 5 70s..name saved for a death knight, 31 hunter which im prolly gonna delete to dual box 2 hunters, and a 68 warrior that im gonna delete ( i hate pure melee classes)
trying to figure out dual boxing combos that would have good synergy. i made 2 shamans last night...was thinking of deleting my 70 mage and making 2 mage combo...frost sounds great with that..plus extra xp aoe grinding :P. so 2 mages, 2 shaman...prolly 2 hunters..any other combos? im def gonna try to dual box 2 death knights as well come expansion

I wouldn't delete a level 70 character (or one at 68 - just to roll a new toon of the same class to dual box. (multiboxing is addictive and you will suddenly want to 5 box and have a tank )

Either transfer one of your 70's over to the other account (downside is it costs, but it did cost you more to level it) or you could delete the deathknight name you reserved and instantly reserve it again on another character on the second account. (make sure you have all the details ready to go so you can register it as soon as the original character is deleted).


This will free up a space and allow you to keep the name reserved.

Class wise - any two ranged classes of the same type will be doable. Roll a few combos and see which you prefer playing.

** EDITED TO FIX SOME TYPOS **

I just started dual boxing about 2 days ago too. FREE MOUNT!!!



But yeah the first group I made was a War/Priest combo. Works realy good for me but seeing as you deleting your war not for you.



The other team I made was 2 Lock, Going to go affli with both of course. I think just from a ease standpoint lock will be one of the easier classes to dualbox. Also with the 3x XP will level insanly fast if you don't mind grinding.



Reasons: No Directional LoS on most spell (not sure if it's because I am new but LoS kills my priest). Most spells are insta cast so they get cast even when your "slave" is in the process of following you. Soul Stones (can rez both can rez if you happen to die). Also whats better then 8 dots on a person in like 5 seconds?

EDIT---

Also I know you said you disliked melee But if you roll a melee (must be your master) class the other needs to be a ranged class. I may be wrong But for me it's next to impossible to get my "slave" into melee range and be effective.

2 rogue team..... /wave

Speccing lock as Demonology would be better for dual boxing as you get better pets, Affliction is too much micro management for a multibox setup
